The Cloning of the BRCA1 Gene.

Abstract

The BRCA1 gene was cloned in 1994. Dr. Narod participated in this international effort. Dr. Narod has been active in characterizing the range and frequency of mutations in families with hereditary breast cancer and in Ashkenazi Jewish women with familial and sporadic cancer. By studying large numbers of BRCA1 carriers he has identified genetic and non-genetic risk modifiers and has helped evaluate the outcomes of genetic counselling of hereditary breast cancer patients.
